It was a complicated decision that took weeks of tossing around ideas, making plans and changing them, checking in with each other's thoughts, calculating risks, exploring worst case scenarios, and searching our souls.

In the end, the decision came down to two main things:

We've been away from our families in Oregon a long time. If we're going to go back, we should go all the way back.

Pete has some projects and business ideas he'd like to explore. This only really makes sense if we're back into our old, paid-for house.

And, in the end, it actually came down to one thing: following our instincts and our hearts. This feels right for us, and right for right now, so we have to do it. We can't not do it.

About Me

This is our family blog (since 2008) that sort of merged into a Luxembourg blog when we moved here in May 2012. We are not technically "expats" - more like "immigrants" as we are here indefinitely with Pete's job at Amazon, and the kids are immersed in Luxembourgish public school. As aspiring minimalists, we try to live simply, enjoying the present and each other. Our European adventures are small and simple, our entertainment thresholds quite low, and we like it that way.
